# UK Weather Maps Indicate 22C Mini-Heatwave in Days as 28 Counties Affected – Full List
Weather forecasts for the UK predict a mini-heatwave, with temperatures potentially reaching 22C in the coming days. This rise in temperatures will impact a total of 28 counties, providing a brief glimpse of summer-like conditions just ahead.
As the country approaches early next month, warmer air will sweep across the UK. The heat will create a sharp contrast with what is expected to follow next weekend. "Winds will be mostly light, but briefly stronger in the northeast as that colder air tries to come south," according to the Met Office. This shift could bring normal or slightly above-average temperatures for many regions.
Here is the full list of affected counties:
1. Bedfordshire
2. Berkshire
3. Buckinghamshire
4. Cambridgeshire
5. Dorset
6. Essex
7. Gloucestershire
8. Hampshire
9. Herefordshire
10. Hertfordshire
11. Kent
12. Lincolnshire
13. London

21. Surrey
22. Warwickshire

25. Worcestershire
26. Merseyside

The forecast warns that colder air will try to invade the country from the north, likely having a limited impact and only briefly affecting the northeast next weekend. "Colder air will try to push into the country from the north toward next weekend," the forecast states, adding that this might instigate a short-lived showery spell, with some precipitation potentially being wintry.
Though the heat will be welcome for many, residents should stay aware of the changing conditions as the weekend looms.
